Major Averages Rose as Economic Data Eased Concerns

Tuesday was a strong day for the stock market as the major indices all closed near their best levels of the session with gains ranging from 0.6% to 1.7%.  Volume totals reported were mixed, lighter on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Advancers led decliners by a 5-2 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 66 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, doubling the total of 33 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Appropriate new buying efforts may be considered under the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating following a "negative reversal" on 6/16/23 after hitting a new 2023 high. 

The upside moves were in response to a slate of stronger-than-expected economic data this morning that helped to ease some concerns about a hard landing for the economy. Namely, the May Durable Goods Orders, May New Home Sales, and June Consumer Confidence reports all went the market's way. As a result, today's trade had a risk-on and pro-cyclical vibe. Gains in their respective mega cap components propelled the information technology (+2.0%) and consumer discretionary (+2.1%) sectors to first place on the leaderboard.

The consumer discretionary sector was also boosted by outperforming homebuilder components in response to the jump in new homes sales in May. The information technology sector, meanwhile, was boosted by outperforming semiconductor components. The SPDR S&P Homebuilder ETF (XHB) rose 2.9%. The PHLX Semiconductor Index rose 3.6%.

Strength Continues for Network Security Leader

Palo Alto Networks (PANW +$7.79 or +3.20% to $251.59) hit a new all-time high with today's gain backed by +16% above-average volume. It is very extended from the prior high ($213) which defines initial support to watch on pullbacks. Fundamentals remain strong.

PANW was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 4/20/22 high plus 10 cents in the 6/05/23 mid-day report (read here). It was shown in greater detail that evening with an annotataed graph under the headline, "Palo Alto Powers to New Highs Again".

It has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. It has shown bullish action after reporting Apr '23 quarterly earnings +83% on +24% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It had a downturn in FY '20 earnings like many companies during the pandemic but has continued posting strong annual earnings (A criteria) since.

PANW's share price was impacted by a 3:1 split on 9/14/22 and it now has a supply (S criteria) of 305.9 million shares outstandingThe number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 892 in Jun '17 to 2,538 in Mar '23, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.1 is an unbiased indication that over the past 50 days it has been under accumulation. It has an A Timeliness Rating and a C Sponsorship Rating.
